Andrew Gower used to have a website during his days at Cambridge University.
It used to be available through internet archives, but most of the infomation has been blocked, probably due to request by
the owner, Andrew Gower. Here are some screenshots of the Devious Mud page on Andrew's website:

It took Andrew over 7 months to complete Devious Mud, and it even had
it's own separate webpage:

Clearly Andrew did have big ambitions for Devious Mud, but it never really

ago, he began to take his ideas more seriously, and started the runescape beta in early January.
